Hi @axelglausen, I can understand your concern at reading that in your operation summary.
Consultants are colleague physicians who may be present during a procedure. A consultant physician or surgeon who does not take full responsibility for a patient, but acts in an advisory capacity, deliberating with and counseling the attending physician or surgeon. A consultant is usually a highly trained specialist.

I hope that puts your mind at ease.

Ahhh! Makes sense. So the consultant does not perform any of the surgery?
